WIZARDS COMPETITOR,

Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in as to the course that will be
pursued by HENRY WILLARD, who is
again on top with the Northern Pacific,
and casting around for favorable coali-
ton. 1t will not soon be forgotten how
but a few years ago Mr.. WILLARD
rushed his road to completion and just
in time to escape the hostile congress
that succeeded in making life so bur
denSome for the Union Pacific, and the
subsequent development of the North
ern Pacific has been in keeping with
this policy. Since the retirement of Mr..
WILLARD from the active management
of the Northern Pacific, the Manitoba
road has made rapid strides towards
taking the bulk of the business of Mon
tana, and is even now knocking at the
gates of Helena for admittance with all
the equipments of a first-class method of
transportation. Consequently, when Mr..
Willard visits this part of the country
again he will find a rival worthy of his
attentions, and who is preparing for an
aggressive campaign in the enemy's
country. 1t is declared by some of the
hackers of the WILLARD enterprise that
he wants to effect railway CONSOLE
dation wherever it is possible, and that
he will map out such policy at a con-
ference to be held during this week.

A BEAUTIFUL GAME.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Tin the sew
enth game in the series for the worlds
championship, played here this after
noon, luck played an important part.
The Browns excelled their opponents
in the fielding and batting, nearly doub-
ling them in total base hits, but in the
more important matter of runs, they
came out two behind. and only escaped
a whitewash by Baldwin's muff in the
last inning, which gave Tip O'Neil a
chance to bang the ball over the fence.
The fielding of both teams was gilt
edged. Baldwin'S mutf, mentioned
above, and Bushong's miss of Benefits
fourth strike, being the only errors that
had any effect upon the score. Deacon
White, Jack Rowe and Hank Robinson
made some daisy stops and throws, and
Fred Dunlap distinguished himself by
making couple of back-running circus
catches. AS usual, Welch put up
great game at center, climbing up the
fence after and securing a fly that
Hardie Richardson had sent out for two
bases and making a wonderful one
handed stop of a hit by Jim White,
thereby robbing the good deacon of an
extra base. Caruthers pitched superb
game, the heavy hitting leaguers getting

GOOD RESULTS

The benefits of the interstate COM
merce law are gradually unfolding to
public view. 1t has long been favor
tie theory with those who have given
the railroad problem most thought and
study that competition was the one SOW
ereign remedy for the ills which the
country suffered from this source. This
theory accorded so well with the govern
ing principle of all business life that no
one seemed disposed to dispute its cor
rectneSS, and even the railroad corpora
tons made use of it as an argument
whenever they wished to defeat legisla-
ton that was designed to limit or restrict
their operations in any particular. ''JuSt
give us full scope to compete with each
Other,'' they would say, land in that way
we will keep rates down. They
were given all the scope they
asked for, and yet the rates were
going up all the time. At last
the people were worn out with the ex-
actions and eXtortions of the railroad
corporations and congress was COM
PEELED to yield to the universal public
demand for restrictive legislation, and
the passage of the interstate commerce
bill was the result. Now the wisdom of
the law is becoming apparent in the
fact that it forces competition among
the railroads. The railroads have in
vented the system of pooling for the
very purpose of abolishing competition.
By their pooling arrangements there
could be no such thing as competition
in rates. The first thing the new law
did was to strike down this Ubiquitous
pooling system, and the beneficial re-
suits that have followed are nowhere
more apparent than here in the North
west. The break made by the Mime
sofa Il Northwestern lowered the rates
between this point and Chicago, with a
still further tendency to go downward.
Now, the Manitoba makes a strike in
the same direction west of US. The
companies owning parallel lines are ac-
tually beginning to compete with each
other. 1t is no longer an agreement be-
tween them by which the business can
be divided and the rates kept up so high
that all can make big profit But it is a
genuine scuf1le for freight and passenger
traffic on the old-time principle in bust
ness competition of the longest pole
knocking the perSimmon. This healthy
condition of affairs is the direct result
of the operations of the interstate COM
merce law. The public are indebted to
the provisions Of that law for breaking
up the pooling arrangements and max
ing competition i'll railroad business a

REEDS TURN.

EX-Warden REED had a sort of field
day yesterday. The testimony before
the commission investigating the peni-
Tertiary scandal was exceedingly dam
aging to the present administration of
that institution. Warden STo RDocK
and his matrOn were painted in rather
dark cOlOrS. 1t is true that it was done
by convict testimony, but Warden
SToRDoCk is not in position to demur
to that, inasmuch as he first availed
himself of the same sort of testimony to
blacken Mr.. REEDS character. If one
tenth of what these convicts tell is true,
there has been a horribly rotten state of
affairs in the penitentiary management
for a long while back, and there are as
yet no evidences of disposition to
bring about reform in the administra-
ton of the institution. Now
that beginning has been made
in exposing the malodorous state
of affairs which exist, in that quarter,
the public will not be satisfied with
anything less than the most thorough
investigation and complete exposure of
the whole rOttenesS.

The Signal Service.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Gen. A. A.
Greedy, chief signal officer, in his an
nual report, calls attention to the old
cumbersome method of signaling in
use in the army and the need of i'm
proved methods and more general in
struction of army men therein. He
calls attention to its value as shown in
Gen. Miles Indian campaign,
and suggests that compe-
tent instructors for the purpose
be stationed at Forts Leavenworth, Mon
roe and Riley. He thinks that carrier
pigeons should be trained for carrying
intelligence from war vessels. He
thinks in that way news from Havana
and the Windward Islands should be
sent to Key West. Concerning weather
forecasts, he says he has been unable
so far to accede to urgent
request to furnish special predictions
for cities, towns and corporations owing
to the short time elapsing between the
receipt of telegraph report and sending
out general predictions. He hopes,
however, during the ensuing year to
make arrangements which, in addition
to providing the Northwest with accu-
rate warnings from cold waves, will also
furnish the great centers of population
with special predictions.

POWDERLY's VICTORY.

That was hot fight the labor assem-
bly, in Minneapolis had over Mr.. Pow
DERBY yesterday. The bitterness of
the opposition to the master workman
at one time threatened to dismember the
body, but finally the conserva
tive element prevailed and Mr..
PowDERLY came out triumphant.
1t was fortunate thing for the
labor organization that yesterdays
quarrel had such a happy termination.
The throwing overboar of PowDERLY
at this crisis in the labor movement
would have been destructive to the
cause. There are but few instances in
history where the leader of new move
ment, and especially one of such mag
nitudc as the labor movement in this
country has assumed, has exhibited
such superior qualities of leadership as
Mr.. PowDERLY.

A Costly Defense,

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Capt. Black tele-
graphed to the Arbeiter Zeitung from
New York yesterday that Gen. Ben
Butler had declared himself willing to
assist counsel for the defense
of the anarchists in taking their
case before the United States SUI
preme court. The Defense committee
of the anarchists will hold a special
meeting to consider the question of re-
tanning the general, and, as one of the
editors of the Arbeiter Zeitung said,
will undoubtedly decide it in favor of
Capt. Blacks proposition. Frand Stau-
Der, the treasurer of the COM
mittee, will then be instructed
to communicate with Gen. Butler
and to arrange all particulars regard
ing fees, etc. Gen. Pryor. J. Randolph
Tucker and Gen. Butler will cost the

on his late leader, and what little in
fluence he has left is being eXerted
against MALONE. Other Republican
leaders, including ex-senator LEWIS,
ex-Gov. CAMERON and Gen. WIcKHAM,
are opposed to the little brigand's dicta-
torShip, and are doing everything in
their power to defeat him. MALONE
having been indiscreet enough to de-
clare himself in favor of JOHN SHEER
MAN for the presidency has naturally
cooled the ardor of the BLAINE faction
in his state. AS BLAINE is the bell

realize the folly of a candidate for
political Office attempting to cham
pion anybOdy's cause but his own. All
these circumstances combine to render

How Cleveland Prepares a Speech.

L
Philadelphia Telegraph
Since the president has been attacked
for making pretty free use of Appleton
in his speeches during his tour, it may
be of interest to say something about
his custom of Speech-making. Every
body knows that he has made some
clever speeches and written some good
things. He does not start out to build
up reputation at this particular time.
AS he has been warned, OratOry is q
dangerous thing ON an occasion of this
!, sort
When Mr.. Cleveland takes a deep in
tereSt in a subject, he speaks and writes
about it we'll He always, or nearly al
ways, writes his speeches. His more
ambitious efforts may receive more care
full attention, but in most cases the ink
has scarcely dried on the speech before
it is delivered. The notes are never i'm
posed upon his auditors. The writing Of
the speech appears to be merely trick of
memory, to get the ideas drilled. The
manuscript is never used after it is
written. He does not commit the speech
to memory after writing it. The manu-
script often lies where it has fallen from
the pen. The president does not die
tate his speeches to a stenographer. In
deed, he seldom has any use for a stem
Ographer, even in his correspondence
One of the executive clerks is an excel
lent shorthand writer, but has suffered
from want of pl actice under Mr.. Cleve-
land. The president seems to find it
easier to write what he wants to say,
and even the Endorsements ON the backs
of pardons, stating why they are
granted or refused, are always in his
peculiar, fine hand.
When he is to make a speech he will
sit down at the last moment and write
it off hastily in full, with scarcely an in
terlineatiOn. He delivers his speeches
in a deliberate, off-hand way, without
gesture.
Contrary to the descriptions given of
the man by such as are wont to repre-
sent him as of coarse nature, without
refinement or sentiment, his best efforts
have been when he has dipped into
sentimentality, just not too much. He
has said few better things than were
called up by his visit to the scenes of
his schoolboy days; and certainly there
was deep tinge of sentiment in his
reference to his wife in his st. Paul
speech.

MAHoNE,s LAST RATTLE

While Oh the surface there doesn't
seem to be much activity in the Vir-
ginia campaign this year, still it is the
most vigorous canvass that has ever
been waged in that state. There is no
state ticket in the field, consequently
there is none of the whoop-and-hurrah
feature usually observable in the poll
tics of that section. But there is legis-
ture to be elected, and this legislature
will perform the duty of naming RID
DLEBERGER'S successor in the United
States senate. MAHoNE is candidate
for the place, and if the Republicans
carry the legislature the little brigand
will surely resume his seat in the sen
ate. MALONE is known to be the most
vigorous political fighter in the South.
and the very fact that it is his last
chance for political prominence nerves
him to unusual eXertion. He is unuues-
tionably making the biggest effort of his
life, for he is conscious that the termi-
nation of his political career will come
with Republican defeat in Virginia next
month. The knowledge of this fact has
also stimulated the Virginia Democrats
to unusual exertiOn. They see the one
great chance to forever rid their state of
the disgrace of Mahoneism, and they
have gone in to win. The outlook for
the Virginia Democracy is exceedingly
encouraging. The state is undoubtedly
Democratic on full vote. The Demo-
Gratis have put exceptionally strong leg
islaGive candidates in the field in all of
the districts. There are 100 members of
the legislature to elect, and of these fifty
seven Democrats are counted upon as
certainty. MALONE is conceded twenty
six districts, leaving seventeen doubtful.
If MALONE carries all the doubtful
districts it will still leave him i. mi
nority of fourteen. III addition 70 this
